Many innovative ways to address poverty and trauma have appeared over the last few years, but they are fighting against the tide, battling hard against the odds.
Many innovative ways to address poverty and trauma have appeared over the last few years. Some would be amazing initiatives to have in a more equal society. They would address the generational and structural hangover of a vastly unequal society. As things are, they are fighting against the tide, battling hard against the odds.
Because the task is such, that these projects, with so much potential for a society that actually had leveled up, will never be able to change the politics of division as they relate to class, location, education, colour, gender etc.. Won’t ever remedy the true causes of fuel poverty, dearth of opportunity, wage disparity, cruel social security system etc.. Can only hope to have a small influence on the environmental impact of poverty on the children of today and tomorrow.
I ask that those responsible stop with this best place in the world nonsense. Everyone should drop that immediately and accept that it actually does no good to speak thus. Frankly – knowing the truth – I find it embarrassing. Sometimes, we need to bluntly speak the truth when we hear such things. So, from me, Best place in the world? my arse (with thanks to Jim Royle). The truth is, Scotland is nowhere near good enough for many of the children growing up today.
